[Sussex] SSL Certs

[Iain Stevenson]

... the outfit that provided my last cert asked for virtually zero 
credentials (I registered a domain through them) so it's still money for 
old rope.  I think that some of the cert companies eg Thawte may take 
accreditation of customers more seriously and I guess you can argue that's 
valid for commercial use.  However, for my home network all I'm bothered 
about is removing those browser messages and the security of SSL.
